Damascening, a technique thousands of years old, is mastered here to perfection. The tray is adorned with intricate silver and brass motifs, inlaid with remarkable precision.

The geometric and floral motifs, typical of oriental art, are engraved with a captivating finesse. Each element seems to dance across the surface of the tray, creating a play of light and shadow that highlights the richness of the materials. Silver and brass, combined with wood and mother-of-pearl, form a harmonious contrast, where luxury blends seamlessly with tradition.
